Beijing Confirms It Will Implement Stage 6 Emissions Rules In 2019
Beijing has some of the worst air pollution of any city in the world.
In an effort to combat that problem, it has established a series of pollution regulations for the motor vehicles that use its streets.
Currently, Stage V rules — based primarily on regulations promulgated by the European Union — are in force.
But there are new Stage VI rules ready to go which seek to slash carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions by 50% below those already strict Stage V level.
Particulates would also see a 40% reduction.
The Stage VI regulations are based on the ULEV standard promulgated by the California Air Resources Board.
The tougher rules will go into effect this year, according to a tweet by Greg Kable.
